Waterlogged Redcar forced to abandon Sunday card

Sunday's meeting at Redcar has been abandoned due to a waterlogged
track. Officials had planned a 12noon inspection following heavy rain
on Friday but they brought forward that check due to an unfavourable
forecast.

Acting clerk of the course John Sanderson said: "We are waterlogged in places and it hasn't really improved overnight.

'We have had a little bit of rain today and the forecast is such
that the chances of improving sufficiently by tomorrow are remote, so
we have abandoned.'

Day off: Top jockey Neil Callan can put his feet up after Redcar's abandonment
